Kuroi Koibito Black Soybean Baumkuchen – Black bamboo-charcoal baumkuchen with black soybeans by Sapporo Gourmet Foods
4.0
Rating 4.0 · 1 review from Japanese buyers

[ Taste: 4.0 Value: 4.0 Volume: 4.0 Design: 4.0 Portability: 4.0 Shelf life: 4.0 ]

A baumkuchen (layered ring cake) whose eye-catching black color comes from bamboo charcoal. The soft, moist cake has a flavor like kinako (roasted soybean flour), and despite its looks, the sweetness is restrained and refined. Perfect with tea.

What Japanese buyers say

The one reviewer describes a baumkuchen colored black with bamboo charcoal and black soybeans, visually striking but with a surprisingly restrained, kinako-like (roasted soybean) flavor. Soft and moist with refined sweetness, they find it well suited to tea. Bought at New Chitose Airport.
